Ripped Off At de'Arnise Hold !

Just A friendly warning...
Apparently anything you leave in the chests at de'Arnise hold, during the battle, are lost once you take over the Keep from Nalia.
I had left the cold head to the flail in the chest where I found it, near the forge, thinking I'd just get it when I got back. Also I dumped everything my party was carrying in a chest near the front doors, dozens of scolls & potions, etc.
After killing everything and talking to Nalia, imagine my surprise when I went to forge the flail and the 3rd head was gone. Then I went to my other chest, and it too was empty.
A truly massive loss to the party, luckily I carried all the best stuff with us.
Anyway, don't make the same mistake I did.

Simply use ShadowKeeper (an editor) to get what you want:

Monk man I did this first time as well. So the next time I played I just brought in bag of holding. Since I am going solo it is next to impossible to carry every thing.

But sorry to hear about your loss.

But like astasfas said. Just bring in those items you lost. Either SK
CLUA. That would be a fair thing to do.

Thanks for the replies, but I'm going to tough it out, as I rarely even use scrolls/potions. Besides, I'm trying to play the game out without 'cheating' in any way.

This occurs with most strongholds in the game, since the map actually changes when you take charge of a stronghold. Bottom line: Don't store any items in a stronghold until you've taken over it.
